What Should I Do Following An Arrest?

At Nava Law Texas, we represent clients across a wide range of criminal matters in El Paso County and surrounding areas, each requiring a unique legal strategy. Whether you are facing misdemeanor charges or serious felonies, our goal is to safeguard your rights and work toward the best possible outcome.

  • Violent Crimes: Charges like aggravated assault, robbery, and homicide carry serious penalties, including long prison terms. Immediate legal representation is essential.
  • Sex Crimes: Allegations such as sexual assault, indecency with a child, or possession of child pornography have lifelong consequences. We defend these cases with discretion and aggressive advocacy.
  • Drug Offenses: From simple possession to manufacturing and delivery, we challenge illegal searches, faulty lab reports, and procedural violations.
  • White Collar Crimes: Fraud, embezzlement, identity theft, and other financial crimes involve complex evidence. We analyze every detail to undermine the prosecution’s case and protect your reputation.
  • Juvenile Offenses: We help minors and their families navigate the juvenile justice system, with an emphasis on rehabilitation and minimizing long-term impact.
  • DWI and Multiple DWI Charges: Whether it’s your first offense or a repeat arrest, we scrutinize field sobriety tests, breathalyzer results, and officer conduct to seek reduced charges or dismissals.
  • Domestic Violence Cases: Defending against accusations that can affect your family, career, and future. These cases can have far-reaching consequences, including protective orders and loss of firearm rights. We handle both misdemeanor and felony domestic charges.
  • Theft and Property Crimes: Shoplifting, burglary, and other property-related offenses. We aim to resolve these cases in ways that protect your record whenever possible.
  • Expungements and Record Clearing: If you’re eligible under Texas law, we’ll guide you through the process of clearing your record to pursue a fresh start.

Key Factors in a Strong Criminal Defense

There are a few crucial factors to any strong criminal defense strategy. These include: 

  • Early Intervention: The earlier you hire an attorney, the more opportunities there are to gather evidence, interview witnesses, and potentially negotiate a favorable outcome.
  • Understanding Your Rights: Many people aren’t fully aware of their constitutional rights during arrest, search, or questioning. We ensure your rights are respected and enforced.
  • Challenging Evidence: From forensic analysis to police procedure, we meticulously review the State’s evidence to find errors, inconsistencies, or legal violations.
  • Negotiation & Trial Readiness: While many cases settle before trial, we prepare every case as if it’s going to court. This strengthens your position in negotiations.

Alyssa Nava prioritizes these strategies to build your case as effectively as possible. She utilizes her network of legal connections to secure favorable alternatives to harsh penalties and taps into her years of experience to fight for you. 

When you’re facing criminal defense charges, you need an attorney who understands the system and navigates it strategically. Alyssa Nava is that attorney.
